Plainsboro - Princeton

When we started from Detroit, our plan was to visit New York in the evening, an hour by train, after checking in and having lunch at Nanda’s house on the afternoon of 24th . Post lunch, when the matter was put to vote, the unanimous verdict was to lounge on the comfortable sofas in Nanda’s living room and if she had no objection, remain lounging there forever!



Nanda had to find a way of getting us out and back on our legs before we claimed ownership of her living room and she suggested that having travelled all the way to New jersey, we at least see the famous Princeton university, which was close by. She said that it was just minute’s drive, and offered to drive us. She described the beauty of the campus, gave a short talk on its history, mentioned names like Albert Einstein, named the movies that have been shot there, said that there was a very good ice cream shop and to her credit, managed to evict us from her living room and herd us back into the car. No wonder that she is a success in her business venture!
The university was really a very short drive from her house, and the approach road gave a hint of what we could expect.



The historic campus was equally appealing and very pleasant in the late evening.







We strolled around the campus for about an hour, walked up and down the neat streets taking in the atmosphere,



and returned home ready again to gorge on stuffed parathas (paneer and broccoli) and ice cream.
